Matthew 6:5-13

5“And whenG3752 you prayG4336, you are not to be likeG5613 the hypocritesG5273; for they loveG5368 to 1standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetG4116 cornersG1137 2soG3704 thatG3704 they 3will be seenG5316 by peopleG444. 4TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 6But as for you, whenG3752 you prayG4336, 5goG1525 into your innerG5009 roomG5009, closeG2808 your doorG2374, and prayG4336 to your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2927; and 6your FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

7“And when you are prayingG4336, do not useG945 thoughtlessG945 repetitionG945 as the GentilesG1482 do, for they thinkG1380 that they will be heardG1522 becauseG1722 of their 7manyG4180 wordsG4180. 8SoG3767 do not be likeG3666 them; for 8your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 whatG3739 you needG5532 beforeG4253 you askG154 Him.

9“9PrayG4336, thenG3767, inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘Our FatherG3962, whoG3588 is in heavenG3772, 10HallowedG37 be Your nameG3686.101112Your kingdomG932 comeG2064. 13Your willG2307 be doneG1096, 14On earthG1093 as it is in heavenG3772.1115GiveG1325 us thisG4594 dayG4594 16our dailyG1967 breadG740.12And 17forgiveG863 us our debtsG3783, as we alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 our debtorsG3781.13And do not leadG1533 us into temptationG3986, but 18deliverG4506 us from 1920evilG4190.21’
